"A Saiyanjin Lullaby"
Chapter 3
"Thanks Sharpener. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye." Gohan hung up the phone. He looked over at his partner looking miserable on the couch and with sigh he left to go to bed.
Vegeta watched his mate leave their living room. He had listened to every painful word. How that tomorrow, after school, his love was to move in to another home. Dark eyes roamed the empty room wondering what went wrong for things to go this far. "Why do you have to leave me brat?"
He looked back over to the stairs wondering what the place would be like without his partner around. "Too quiet… too damn quiet." Vegeta complained. With a heavy sigh he pulled himself off the couch and went over to the light switch and turned the lights off before climbing the stairs to their room.
Pushing the door open, he could see the outline of Gohan's form under the blankets with dim light radiating from side lamp. Vegeta pulled off his shirt. "Bart, are you awake?"
Dark lashes flicker opened to look at his prince. "What is it Geta?"
"Couldn't we…" Vegeta looked at the boy with frustration swelling inside him.
Gohan closed his eyes and with a sigh and pulled the covers back over him. "We have been over this already."
"Fine we will go over it again and again…" Vegeta snapped as kneeled on the bed and pulled away the doona from his lover's face.
Gohan looked up at him with the same frustrated frown as his partners. "I'm not getting into another argument Vegeta."
"There you go again, stop it!" The prince growled stopping his partner from climbing back under the covers.
"Stop what?" Gohan growled trying to pull the covers from Vegeta's grasp.
"You're using my name brat." The prince growled releasing his hold.
Gohan glared at him as he sunk back under the plush covers. "Well it is your name…"
"What happened to Geta?" Vegeta growled shifting to the end of the bed to pull off his boats. The teen watched his lover throw his boots, one by one, in a temper to the floor.
With heavy sigh Gohan said. "Just come to bed. I have school tomorrow and…" Vegeta looked over his shoulder and narrowed his eyes at him. He stood up and went to take off his pants.
"Yes, yes don't remind me." Vegeta growled. "You are moving in with that lower than lower ningen."
Gohan sat up with his elbow supporting him. "Sharpener is good friend Geta and…"
"That's better." Vegeta looked back at his young love while he pulled off the last of his clothes. The prince moved over to his frowning partner with his own softer expression.
"What's better?" Gohan growled. With Vegeta coming up close and straddled him, their faces only inches away. Dark amused pools looked into young confused midnight pearls.
"You're using your pet name for me." Vegeta purred. "The one you used the first night, remember? The night I gave you this." Vegeta traced a finger over his signature. "Actually you screamed that name out a lot." Gohan lowered back to the pillow wavering under his lover's touch, until Vegeta stopped and went on. "I thought I was going to go deaf that night..." He recollected with a smile.
"Vegeta." The boy growled.
The prince sighed knowing he should have stopped while he was ahead. "Fine. It's obvious that you have made up your mind on this."
"Yes I have." Gohan pushed him off, pulled the covers back over him and rolled over. "Just climb into bed and let's sleep."
"Sleep?" Vegeta grumbled, with a deepened frown, he moved back and climbed in. The prince shifted against his young lover's naked form. "Can I at least get to hold you?" Through heavy dark lashes he looked over the inviting pale skin. *Press against you, taste you, eat you.*
Gohan rolled over to look at his sulking lover. "Don't be like this Geta."
Young midnight pools smirked seeing Vegeta like this. Gohan shifted further over and leaned in for a kiss. Both warm bodies savoured the taste that it brought them, he moved closer. A hand fisted into young black locks and another trailed over a flexing back as the prince brought the boy over on top of him.
Gohan's lips parted, warmth escapes. "I love you."
Vegeta's eyes roamed, the scent, that burning need, with his powerful hold he brought back what was his into a fiery kiss. The teen broke for air with smile as he shifted, rested his head on the prince's firm chest, listening to the strong beat of his lover's heart. With a contented smile the boy purred. Vegeta started to groom his young love with his fingers, smoothing, raking dark locks, while deep in thought.
The night silence was broken with a threatening tone. "If he touches you, any part of you…"
"If who touches me?" Gohan lifted up his head.
Vegeta stoped his grooming. "That boy." He said. The prince couldn't remember names if they weren't important.
Gohan raised a brow. "Sharpener?"
Vegeta looked away as jealousy tugged at his heart. "I'll vaporize his…"
Gohan shifted to the side to look at his prince. "He's not like that Vegeta." Midnight pearls stay fixed on the older man. "You can't keep doing this. I want a few rules." The boy growled.
"Rules?" Vegeta raised a brow at the boy.
Gohan ignored the look of amusement Vegeta was sending him. "Yes while I'm staying at Sharpener's. You have to ring before you come over and…"
"Ring what happened to just using our bond?" Vegeta asked not at all pleased.
"Because I want you to do this my way… the proper way…" Gohan was interrupted.
"You mean the ningen way, your mother's way." Vegeta hissed.
"Geta don't start with that again. You know I'm half human." Gohan shifted up on his elbow and glared down at his annoyed partner.
"Your Saiyan side is stronger. You're carrying our child, which proves this." Vegeta snapped staring at his partner. The boy's frown deepened with each word the prince spoke.
"So you would hate me if I was less?" Gohan growled believing that Vegeta would have never had taken him if there was a full blooded Saiyanjin around.
"I didn't say that boy, you did." Vegeta growled back.
"I give up." Gohan fell back on his pillow looking up at the ceiling in frustration.
With a heavy sigh. "Fine! What are these rules?" Vegeta watched as his partner rolled over with enthusiasm.
"You can't just rock up any old time. Sharpener has his grandmother living next door and I don't want any trouble."
"Like I would cause trouble. They can't stop me from seeing my mate." Vegeta was infuriated that someone would think they could stop him, the prince of Saiyans, from seeing his royal partner.
"It's not them we have to worry about…" Gohan bit his bottom lip and lay back down with his eyes wide, mentally kicking himself.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Vegeta shifted onto his side and looked at the boy. "Is there something you not telling me boy?"
Gohan refused to look, nervous that his eyes would betray him. "Nothing. I didn't mean anything. I'm tired. Forget it."
"Boy, you will tell me if something is wrong won't you?" Vegeta shifted so he was half on top with his determined, sharp eyes locked on the boy.
"I can look after myself. I have done it in the past." Gohan growled, feeling uncomfortable with him this close and his eyes drilling for information.
"If something is upsetting you I need to know." Vegeta's frown grew with Gohan worming from his light hold and rolling over to face away from him.
"I'm just tired that's all."
The prince rolled back on to his back with his concern eyes on his young mate's back. *Why won't you tell me boy?*
~~~
The next day was busy with Gohan getting up early and packing some things to take to Sharpeners. Vegeta growled and generally complained the whole time with Gohan ignoring him. The prince ended up finishing the job for him as his young mate rushed off to school.
At school most minds and conversation were on the different tests, they each had to do through the day. Each one was praying they had passed with good marks. For Videl it was a way of getting her father's attention. For Eraser it was the new wardrobe her parents had promised her and for Sharpener, he needed the marks to stay in school.
For Gohan, he was hoping for high marks to get a decent job so he could support his family and not have to rely on their friend, Bulma and her generosity. By the end of the day all nerves were recovering as they head for their lockers.
"So you're really moving in with Sharpener?" Videl inquired.
"Yes." Gohan nodded as he looked through the sea of students in search of his locker.
"How did your boyfriend take it?" Eraser asked on the other side of him.
Gohan shrugged his shoulders. "Well…"
"That good huh?" Videl smirked.
Gohan shrugged his shoulders again as he and Eraser came to a stop in front of their own lockers.
"It's for the best. Now you can hang out with us more." Videl said.
"Oh it stuck again." Eraser complained trying to open her locker door.
"Here I'll help you." Gohan drop his gear into his open locker and went to help his friend.
Sharpener took this time to grab Videl's arm and drag her away out of earshot. "What's your game?"
"Gohan needs someone more stable and someone close to his age." Videl growled. She had plans of getting the teen out and seeing others, now that he was away from his ex boyfriend, as she saw it.
Sharpener shook his head in disbelief. "You're crazy."
Videl ignored him and turned back to her friend opening the locker door for Eraser. "Hey Gohan I'm going to have a party on Saturday night you want to come. I can pick you up."
Gohan turned to Sharpener. "Are you going?"
"I don't know. Am I invited?" The teen looked over at Videl who nodded and smiled.
"Of course you are, Eraser will be there, and few of the other kids from school." Videl said as all four headed out of the corridor. "You'll have to bring your bathers." She added.
"Or not." Eraser winked
"No, I'm bringing them." Gohan smirked as they all headed towards the gates.
Sharpener tapped his friend on the arm to follow him. "Come on Gohan lets go. See you guys later."
"School tomorrow, don't sleep in." Videl called as they each went their separate ways.
Sharpener showed Gohan a shortcut over the school grounds towards his place. Both dropped their shoulder bags over the wire fence before jumping. "It's weird. I'm going to meet your boyfriend for the first time and you have just broken up with him."
Gohan picked up his bag and frowned at the other teen. "I haven't broken up with him. We are just separated until I can sort things out."
Sharpener snatched his bag up too. "You said he will meet us at the house?" Gohan waited for his friend to show the way.
"Yeah he's bringing my gear over. I gave him the address. He will be there as soon as he has finished helping Bulma out with something. That's if the traffic is not too bad."
"You got a car. I never knew that." The taller teen raised brow interested.
"It was a present from Bulma when she found out about the …" Gohan bit his lip, stopping him from saying anything else.
"About the what?" Sharpener asked swapping the heavy bag over to his other shoulder.
Gohan turned around with smile and a change of subject. "We must be close to your place …hey?"
Sharpener nodded and pointed ahead of them. "Yeah it's just the next street. Gran won't be home till later so I'll introduce you to her then."
"Oh okay." Gohan nodded and continued to follow his friend. They turned the corner into a street lined with the standard houses. A few yards down, opposite them, was a black sleek car, looking hot and fast, parked just outside a white single story weatherboard house.
"Wow look at that." Sharpener picked up his pace as they crossed the quiet wide road.
"Vegeta. He must have left early." Gohan said seeing the driver's door opening.
"Your kidding me that car is yours?"
"Yeah that's our car." Gohan nodded as they both walked down the footpath towards the expensive looking car.
"Oh can I drive it? Please say yes." Sharpener pleaded with both hands pressed together getting a smile from the other boy.
"You'll have to fight Vegeta over it. He fell in love with it on the first day. It's his new favourite toy." Gohan smirked turning back to see Vegeta step out in his tight jeans and lose shirt, pulling his sun glass off as he closed the door. Looking like his car, sleek and powerful, Gohan thought. Liking what he sees as his eyes linger on a firm ass.
"Expensive toy I bet that baby can fly." Sharpener purred. He watched the man he has only seen a few time from a distance, stand with his arms now folded in front of them. The teen looked at Gohan's boyfriend. He could tell he worked out by his muscled form.
"If Vegeta has anything to do with it, it probably would." Gohan agreed.
"Geta." Gohan chirped, came up to him with Vegeta taking a step forward. His royal dark sights shifted to the other teen with disgust. He turned his sights back on Gohan with eyes a light. The prince leaned in and cupped the boy's chin. "Brat" he purred.
The prince brushed his lips against those soft silks, in a moist teasing kiss before capturing them fully in a burning fire of passion. Sharpener's eyes widened. He averted his sights feeling uncomfortable, and unsettled that he wanted to watch.
Vegeta broke the kiss, a statement, aimed at the other teen, that Gohan was his and don't mess with him. "I could eat you." He purred, his sights shifted and hardened at the stranger.
Gohan still dazed opened his lids. "Huh?" Vegeta's satisfaction reached his eyes. He was pleased there was something he still could do right. He watched as the boy slowly gained his senses. "Ummm… s-sorry… Sh-Sharpener. This is Geta…No…" Gohan shock his head. "No… Vegeta."
The prince smirked again as he stepped back, but it disappeared when he looked down at the outstretched hand between him and his lover. He was vaguely wondering should he ki blasted it off. Gohan nudged him.
Sharpener smiled. "Nice to meet you." Vegeta raised a brow.
"Vegeta!" Gohan snapped.
"Humph."
"He doesn't talk much." Gohan quickly added, covering up his partner's lack of manners. Vegeta stood quietly and said nothing as he listened to his partner. Gohan had had plenty of practice with the prince's unfriendly attitude towards others.
"Oh. Okay. Shy huh?" Sharpener said, looking back at Vegeta who sent him an unsettling smirk his way.
"Something like that." Gohan said. He didn't see his prince enjoying his game of unsettling Sharpener, as a dizzy spell washed over him. Gohan's hand came to his temple, his bag slipped off his shoulders only to have Vegeta take it from him and steady him.
"Brat? Where is your place?" The prince asked concerned for his mate, who was looking pale and tired from the stress of the day.
"Just at the back. Here I'll show you." They followed Sharpener into a small front yard with a low timber fence and a garden running up the side of it. The house had a high veranda along the front of it with two large long windows on either side of the front door.
The boy led them down the side of the driveway. "The flat is attached to the back of gran's place. So we have to be careful with the noise." The teen explained as he looked over his shoulder at his friend.
"Oh okay." Gohan said. With Vegeta at his side, listening and taking in the surroundings. He noticed a dog that liked to bark along the driveway side of the fence. The yard looked much like the rest with various plants spread around the narrow grounds.
"It's not much, but hey it's cheap board." The boy smirked. They came to a low covered porch. Sharpener was going through his pocket pulling out his keys. "I'll get you a set made up." He said as he put his key into the lock.
Vegeta rased brow at his young mate, who frowned at him not to say a word. The prince couldn't see why he would need set of keys. Especially if he was only staying for two weeks, or less if he can persuade his love to come back home. "That'll be great. Thanks." Gohan said feeling Vegeta disapproving eyes on him.
Ignoring him, Gohan stepped in to the open living area with his friend rushing over to shift some clothes off the sofa. Gohan looked to the side to see a small kitchen. It was nothing like back home where everything was light and airy. Here it was closed in and dark. With a sigh he walked over towards his friend tossing his clothes in to his room.
Sharpener turned around nervously. He wasn't used to having visitors. "Sorry about the mess." He said. Vegeta's eyes narrow on the small quarters that his koi will be spending a few weeks in. Gohan opened the door between the bedroom and the kitchen. "Oh that the bathroom with everything you might need." He said as Vegeta stepped up behind his partner to look.
He turned to Sharpener. "Where's the boy's sleeping?" His eyes narrowed not seeing a second bedroom.
"Oh here. It's comfortable. I know I have fallen asleep on it often enough." The teen chuckled. Gohan closed the bathroom door to look back.
"No it will be great." Gohan reassured his friend with a disproving grunt coming from his mate. Vegeta moved over to look at the worn sofa that had seen better days. Sharpener removed two of the cushions to bring the bed frame out.
The boy pulled on the thick metal bar. "Look you… you just…" Sharpener tugged harder. "Oh wait it's stuck." Vegeta raised brow and came over and looked at the problem. "It's okay. It does this sometimes. It just needs a little persuasion." Sharpener said, seeing Vegeta's frown deepen.
"Move." The prince ordered as he went to tug on the stubborn bar.
"Geta careful don't" Gohan cringed with each tug Vegeta pulled on the metal bar. "Don't Geta…you might …Vegeta." He snapped.
"Blast!" Vegeta growled in frustrating. "I'll fix it." He growled with the base now angled down to the floor on one side.
"Hey its okay it was old." Sharpener waved their worries off. "Look see, you still have my room."
SNAP Dark eyes narrowed on the teen with a broken bar now in his powerful grip.
"Vegeta?"
"Hey it's okay." Sharpener patted his friend on the back and pointed to his room behind them. "Look." He said as he moved Gohan through the door. Vegeta's eyes narrowed into the tiniest of slits. The bar still in his grasp bending as his fist tightens. "It's cool if he can't fix it, your welcome to sleep here."
Gohan stepped further in, embarrassed by Vegeta breaking his friend's furniture. Behind them the sound of metal been bent was heard with Vegeta trying to fix the sofa. Curses were spilling as the prince mouthed off his frustration with a hint of panic in his voice.
"Ummm at least until we can work something out. I don't take much room" Sharpener added, reassured his friend who still looked upset. Gohan looked at the double bed pushed up against the wall, just under the window of the small compacted room.
"If you sure. I'll pay for the sofa." The teen added. Gohan felt bad.
Sharpener smiled. "We can work that out later. So what do say?" He asked.
"Okay that will be great." Gohan smiled at his friend hearing another fist full of curses emanating from Vegeta out in the living room. Gohan thought he had better let him know. "Geta don't worry. I'll be sleeping with Sharpener.
BANG
"Geta?" Gohan rushed out. He was met with Vegeta's wide eyes. Gripping the mangled mess of what was left of the sofa frame. The prince's darkened eyes shifted and fixing on Sharpener.
The boy shivered under the dark orbs. "What's up?" He asked as looked at the completely destroyed sofa surrounding the man.
"You." Vegeta hissed raising his free hand.
"VEGETA!" Gohan yelled as he moved in front of his prince blocking his line of fire. "Calm down."
Vegeta's piercing stare fixed on his young mate. "Calm down?"
"We are just sleeping together." Gohan explained, not realising just how bad that sounded.
"Oh, just sleeping together." Vegeta purred unnerving his mate. A smirk slipped on the prince's face unsettling the boy further. Vegeta dropped the frame at the boy's feet. Gohan jumped. The prince's eyes stayed fixed on his naive lover. His hand was stretched out ready to ki blast the bedroom solving all their problems.
Gohan's eyes were on the bed frame as he stepped out of its way. He didn't see Vegeta's hand raise at Sharpener and the bedroom.
"Cool trick." Sharpener said seeing a trace of ki forming in the prince's palm aimed at him. Gohan's head shot up, eyes wide. With Saiyanjin reflexes he diverted the ki from hitting his friend to hit the ceiling instead.
"DRAT!" Vegeta growled. It missed.
"VEGETA!" Gohan eyes flashed teal.
"Hey guys did you see that. Wow… Freak lightning strike." Sharpener said looking up at the gaping hole in the ceiling. " Gran is going to flip." The boy said gawking at the smouldering hole that went through the roof to show the evening sky. He was too stunned to notice the silent Saiyanjin lovers quarrel in the background. One could only pray that the house is still standing before gran comes home.
TBC…
A/N: Sorry for the delay…a again. ~_~; I'm bad girl I know …Cool huh ..No.. Ok. *grins*
Next chapter we have some fun with Vegeta sneaking back at night and peeks through the window. He won't be happy with what he sees. Let's hope Sharpener's place survives the night with Gohan living there. ^_~
I'm working on some fun ideas. One, being Videl's pool party, like spiked drinks and see where that will lead us. I also want to bring Goku back at some point before the baby is born. I want to drag him into the chaos that will lead up to the happy event.
Thanks guys for the reviews. They help get the chapters up. Sorry for the last chapter. I went back fixed what I could. C'ya
